Moto E4 gets Lineage OS Custom ROM

 By Vaibhav Jain on October 24, 2017       

Back in June Motorola announced the Moto E4 along with the Moto E4 Plus in two variants, one with Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 or 427 processor and other with MT6737 Quad-core processor.

While I’m not a fan of having different variants for different countries, it’s whatever. There's a good news for Moto E4 with Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC. XDA developer squid2 has released Lineage OS Custom ROM for the Moto E4.

The Lineage OS 14.1 is based on Android 7.1.2 Nougat. We all know that the Moto E4 won't be getting Android Oreo officially, but you'll be able to install it via Lineage OS 15, whenever available. Until then Moto E4 users with Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC can enjoy the first port of LineageOS 14.1.

You'll need to Unlock Bootloader and Install TWRP Custom Recovery in-order to Install the Lineage OS 14.1. You can grab the Custom Rom ZIP file from below. Stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter page to get the first News.

Leak Reveals 2018 Google Pixel Codenames

 By Vaibhav Jain on October 24, 2017       

It's not even been a month since Google officially revealed the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL in San Francisco and we already have the leaks about 3rd Generation Pixel devices.

As we all know that the Nexus and Pixel line has a long history of fish or aquatic life inspired device codenames, and the same have an equally long history of getting leaked via rumors and AOSP commit comments. According to Droid-Life, the codenames for the 2018 Pixel devices are “Crosshatch,” “Albacore” and “Blueline.”

Additionally, these devices will come with huge design and hardware upgrades over the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. The report alleged that Google may end up referring to these devices simply as A, B, and C just to keep them secret. The report further claims that two of these devices will be considered premium, while the third could be a high-end variant

Confirming the codename, Crosshatch has already made its way to the AOSP gerrit. There's also a listing of mystery device named "Wahoo". The report alleged that "Wahoo" is probably the leftover from 2017 Google devices and may not necessarily in the 2018 group.

This is the OnePlus 5T with full-screen display and tiny bezels

 By Vaibhav Jain on October 23, 2017       

There's no denying the fact that OnePlus is working on next generation Smartphone. Already there are couple of leaks and rumors regarding the OnePlus 5T. Until now we have only seen fake renders and fake invites of the OnePlus 5T but this is going to change today.

Teaser Image of the OnePlus 5T has been published online Android Authority and it gives us our best look yet at the OnePlus 5T.

As you can see in the above and below image, there's no front facing fingerprint sensor below the display and that's likely due to the fact that the OnePlus 5T would feature 18:9 5.5" to 6" Full-Vision Display with 2160 x 1080 resolution.

Additionally, the OnePlus 5T will likely feature similar camera design and hardware to that of the OnePlus 5. However, we might see some improvements in the battery size.

That said, OnePlus might reveal the OnePlus 5T in November 2017. Stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter page to get the first News.
